Briefly: Perhaps the strangest bit of casting for The CW’s new Arrow spin-off, The Flash, is the role given to the actor who played The Flash for CBS from 1990 to 1991. John Wesley Shipp, before playing Dawson’s father on Dawson’s Creek, was both Barry Allen and The Flash in the single-season show that featured 22 episodes of The Fastest Man Alive running around in a Stan Winston-built suit.

Shipp reportedly has a recurring role on the show, but his precise character has not been revealed. Can we now expect Mark Hamill’s Trickster to appear, too?
